A couple possibilities come to mind. Are they new plants? If so, they may be having trouble establishing and that would explain their dryness. Since they do perk up when you water, that is most likely the problem. Do you have them in good, loose, organically rich soil? Do you have mulch around them? Mulch is VERY important when a plant is dry.

I have Rozannes and they are like troopers here in our heat, which just has to be worse than yours. I give them no more water than any other plant in my yard. However, they do not like to have their roots disturbed and sulk for weeks after division. I don't remember them sulking when I first planted them, but they might have. If they're in good soil and you have three or four inches of mulch around them, they ought to be okay on regular water, even if they are new plants.

Hi Donnabaskets: Thanks so much for replying. These are plants I purchased last spring and they did great all last year, even during very hot spells, that's what is so puzzling!! I do have to add though, after double checking them today, only one is really drooping, and it's the one planted right by a rose. The others did droop during a 4 day heatwave, but look ok now.

Do you think the rose is hogging the water? I water the rose a lot, but it's a huge rose bush. My geranium is in good organic soil, and lots of mulch too. So perhaps that is the reason, I will just have to keep an eye on it. I also noticed that only parts of it are wilting, which is strange, but have noticed out in the yard, weeds are also wilting and only parts of the weeds too. So maybe it's the weather also.

Thanks again!!
